The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) is hosting a Business to Business Vendor Outreach Matchmaking Event (VOME). The inaugural virtual event will be held on May 8, 2025, with meetings occurring between 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

This VOME will help forge and maintain relationships, teaming opportunities, joint ventures, and possible MPP partnerships. It also is being held to support the Small Business Administration’s National Small Business Week.

Each virtual meeting will be 15-minutes and established by the matching of core competencies, needs, and lines of businesses as identified by each firm’s North American Industry Classification System Code. Businesses will choose to meet with other businesses that align with their needs and current requirements. Consequently, there may be small businesses that register but may not receive a meeting.
